Historic “Wardellann” Circa 1914 - Set On 3,718m2 - Skilfully Renovated
Set well back from the picket fence is an imposing, 100 year old colonial that sits regally within its manicured grounds. It has the distinction of being originally built by the Krimmer family of the renowned KR Darling Downs. A meticulous, extensive renovation in the 1990's restored this significant home to reclaim the original style and wondrous proportions of each room. The enormous living room with a magnificent fireplace features stunning pressed metal ceilings and a dining alcove set into a bay window and framed by arched fretwork. A wide central hallway reveals the attractive hoop pine flooring and provides access to the generously proportioned four bedrooms with 12' ceilings; the main with ensuite and two of which feature lovely bay windows with leadlight panes. Three of the bedrooms have the added appeal of accessing, through elegant French doors, the wide northern verandah with wrought iron lacing. The sizable kitchen has ample space for a dining suite and has a special feature in the intricate exposed brickwork of the original chimney. Heating consists of a combination of a large slow combustion heater, elaborate fireplace and the convenience of a split system reverse cycle air-conditioner. The grounds could be best described as befitting a country manor, including lush lawns, fruit and nut trees, raised vegetable gardens as well as a wide variety of selected trees and shrubs kept nurtured by abundant bore water. There is undercover car accommodation for up to 7 vehicles including entry from the street at the rear. The numerous other out-buildings include: workshop areas, potting shelter and a wood room. This remarkable property is now ready to change hands and for the next owners to write their own chapter in its history.
